CGI imagery for LEICHT IDEA: material styling and photorealistic kitchen rendering.
LEICHT KÜCHEN AG develops architectural kitchens. IDEA combines satin-matte acrylic surfaces, VERO glass display cabinets and functional pocket-door cabinetry, alongside built-in appliances from Gaggenau. This was the starting point for our CGI image series. We selected materials and accessories and refined the supplied 3D model, PBR materials, lighting and composition. The series ranges from full-room views to close-ups, with an exterior view as an additional campaign image.
Photorealistic kitchen renderings for LEICHT IDEA
The image series presents IDEA through room views and close-ups. Details of edges, faucets and appliance fronts complement the overall view of the kitchen. An exterior view adds a campaign image to the series. The kitchen CGI was prepared for product pages, dealer portals, social media and print.
Kitchen CGI featuring VERO glass display cabinets
Transparency, reflections and small highlights give the VERO cabinets depth and rhythm within the scene. We used restrained highlights on the frames, clear edges and quiet surfaces to guide the eye. Warm wood tones inside the cabinets provide a setting for dishes, glassware and small objects. Further product details are available on LEICHT's IDEA page.
Showing pocket-door cabinetry and pullouts in 3D
Our views show the cabinet with its doors open and retracted into the side pockets, alongside the arrangement of its pullouts. The images explain how the cabinet is used while retaining a clear view of the fronts' materials and proportions. Our kitchen visualization page offers further insight into our work for kitchen brands.
Acrylic surfaces and material matching in kitchen CGI
For the almond-gray acrylic surfaces, we coordinated material settings and lighting, checking the results against physical samples. The scene also includes ROCCA's stone appearance on the island and the Celano walnut wood effect. Our glossary explains how Physically Based Rendering describes the way these surfaces respond to light.
Gaggenau ovens and Vario 400 series cooktops in CGI
For the Gaggenau ovens and Vario 400 series cooktops, we focused on joints, glass and metal surfaces, and control panels. In the room views, the appliances form part of the kitchen architecture. Close-ups show edges, bevels and reflections.
